That's how it always is in the entertainment industry, your feet are always treading Jello.

Because you don't live near a bakery doesn't mean you have to go without cheesecake.

As long as we are content to live without revival, we will.

I'll just be out in the shed.

The only way you can get good, unless you're a genius, is to copy. That's the best thing. Just steal.

Every science begins as philosophy and ends as art; it arises in hypothesis and flows into achievement.
